Ulster Championship 2025

Down really are a Tailteann Cup team

[thewobbler]

These overcarrying calls this weekend have been ridiculous

Ruining the game.

Golden boy Murphy no card for pulling Magill down?

How's it ruining the game?

They're not frees in any man's language. Be done for a week to shit a couple of teams and be forgot about again once there's a final on the line.

You could prove right. But if it's here to stay then it'll improve the game. It's not possible to defend one on one against modern powerhouse forwards, unless 4 steps are monitored.

Donegal 1-12 Down 0-7 half time

[Armagh18]

Sidebottom makes a good point there, Magill gets a black if he does thag to Murphy.

[J70]

Eight point lead at the half in a game where we've barely had to break sweat. Honestly not sure what else to say about it - Down just don't look good enough up top to trouble us, at least so far. It's dull enough stuff with Down arseing about in possession and us efficient on the break and from kick outs.

Would there be 15k there today?

You and me both agree it's not here to stay. So it's just a completely frustrating sideshow for players and fans for 1 weekend. Remember a few weeks ago they were blowing keepers for taking too long? What happened that? f**k all.

Think it was changed to 30 seconds and "at the referees discretion"

Murphy starting to be the king of the cheap shots! He gets a odd point or 2 but has seriously slowed down. Be a better option of the bench.

[Armagh18]

Murphy gets booked for the soft one lol

[tyrone08]

Thought contact with the head is a red card. Apparently not if your Murphy

[imtommygunn]

I'd have thought that was a red too. Just slapped him on the face.

Murphy has always had this in him. Great on the ball but horrendous of it.

[tyrone08]

Jesus the consistency of refs applying the rules is a joke.

[tyrone08]

The rule was clarified on Thursday that any contact with the neck or head is a straight red.

Yeah so we'd a week or two of bullshit calls and then a change back to the status quo. exasperation for players, managers and fans and should they voice their frustration it's a 50m free. It's all such total bullshit, game be controlled at committee level.
